Pros Cons
Awesome audio  
Addictive gameplay  
Tight controls  

I'm a guitar player who loves guitar hero. I was really bad at it at first, but now I am able to bust out expert! Guitar Hero II is my favorite and I prefer it to III. I just like the setlist more.

Story: hahahaha....

Graphics: The graphics just simiulate a band playing onstage, and are nothing too special. The chracters are nice and colorful, but not too detailed. It's pretty average stuff.

Sound: A great catalog of songs, from great bands like Rush, Lamb of God, and Megadeth to name a few. This game is all about audio, and it delivers.

Gameplay: Gameplay is beyond addictive, yet, it's so simple. You have five different collored buttons on the screen and you just mathc them with the corresponding color that scrolls down the screen. It's simplicity is genious!

Overall: If your a music fan, or just need a game for you and your friends to play, Guitar Hero is a great investment.

Guitar Hero II

This game is really cool. It's really fun to play with a bunch of friends with. The song list is cool too, and it could be even cooler if you get the songs off the Market place.

Guitar Hero II

Well for me, this was my second Guitar Hero as I got the third one first. This game is great. Just as much fun as the third one is except the glaring exception that there is no play over Xbox Live. that kind of puts a damper on the enjoyment of the game over the long haul. The game though in itself is great. The songs are numerous as well as varied. There are several songs on this one that I like more than in 3. If you like these types of games, do yourself a favor and pick this one up

Can't...stop...playing...

Easily one of the most addicting, and fun games ever. This is a must own for any musician, or just anyone that loves to have fun.

Rocks

This game is even better than the PS2 version. I am so ready to see 3 come out. What more fun then this. Only reason I am taking off .25 is cause you cant find a spare guitar anywhere.

Wow it's better than i thought!

Guitar Hero II is a very fun game for people who like music.When I first saw it out for the PS2 I didn't really want to get it.When I bought it for Xbox360 ( for achievements) I immediatly fell in love with it.It has a pretty good Career and an awsome coopretive mode,sadly online play wasn't added to the new features.Some of this games bad spots are the lack of new songs from the original,the repetativeness of the career (if you beat it in all modes it gets somewhat boring),and the fact that online play would be great. I recommend music lovers to get it for the 360.

Family game

This game is a perfect family game. (If you like active playing). IT leaves you yelling and screaming, for joy of coruse. So I really support people to buying this game but with guitar hero 3 coming out and rockstar on it's way I would wait.

Future Artherits FOR THE WIN!

This game is so bad ass and innovative, a 5.0 does not give it justice. The songs are great, expert is fun as hell, the achievements ROCK, its a great game to play with friends too. I recomend this game to ALL Xbox 360 owners, you'll have a blast trust me.

WOW

AWESOME. Just as good as the first... only better! Updated songs, new guitar, just awesome. Even the graphics for your band in the background are pretty good. The drummer hits his toms and cymbols and exactly the right time of the song.
